So..I've got a question..do you have to say you 'don't own something' for every chapter? Because im pretty sure ive only said, 'I don't own megamind' once or twice. Just curious..And also, I pretty much guessed and Bernard's last name. I don't think they said it in the movie sooo, I just made one up.
But aaaanyyywaayyys, I've had my coffee, and im listening to some icp, so im ready to write another chapter! Hope you enjoy this one. [:
Everything Was So Perfect
Chapter 7
Mrs. Walson was still sitting at her desk, typing away at her computer. Now that the blue, alien in the orange prison suit had left the lobby, she didn't feel threatened anymore. She had only just moved to Metro City a week ago, and was busy with her job, so she haden't really had time to watch the news or know who Megamind was. Just wait until she told her husband when she got home.
'There was nothing in the job description about blue aliens.' She had thought, shaking her head.
She had thought that that would be the the last strange thing she'd see that day. Boy, was she wrong.
The door to the lobby opened and closed. Mrs. Walson was still typing away at her computer.
"Hello!" she heard a joyful voice say.
She looked up and her mouth fell open.
There, standing in front of her desk, was a green, alien fish in a bowl. And attached to a robot gorilla body.
Minion was standing there, just smiling at her, waiting for a greeting back. But Mrs. Walson wouldn't reply. She just kept gaping at him.
"Do you know where the room is that Megamind is at?" he asked, still cheerfully.
Mrs. Walson still didn't reply.
The smile on minion's face was replaced with a look of confusion. Looking a around a little bit he said, "Um..miss?"
She wouldn't have had time to answer, even though she probably wouldn't have, because a familiar voice came into the room.
"Auntie Tirrell, I have a favor to ask you.." James started to say as he walked into the office. He was wearing a white button up business shirt, with a black tie, and black dress pants. But when he saw minion, he stopped. "Minion?"
"Hi James!" minion said, smile back on his face and waving at the man not 5 feet away from him.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm here for Megamind." He replied.
"Ohhhh, that's right. You're here for his interrogation then?"
Minion just shrugged. "I dunno, this place just called and told me to come here sooo…here I am! Now where's Megamind?"
Finding her voice Tirrell said, "Woah, woah, woah. Wait.. you know this..this, thing?" she said turning to James.
"Yeah, he's Megamind's friend. Ya know, the guy that I told you was coming in today."
Mrs. Walson just stared at him.
"I told you about him on the phone. I said he's a friend of mine who was accused of.." he started to explain, but Mrs. Walson interrupted.
"Yeah, yeah, I remember that. What I don't remember is you telling me that he was a blue alien!" she said frantically at him.
James just rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah..I guess I forgot to mention that."
Tirrell threw her arms in the air. "How in the world could you forget to mention that?"
"Um, I.."
"No, no James. When I moved here, I expected to be told if there were aliens running rampid through the streets here!" she exclaimed.
"Auntie Tirrell.."
"But you know, I guess it just..'slipped your mind'" she said and put her hands on her desk and shook her head. "Honestly child.."
Minion had been standing there, watching this argument between the aunt and nephew. "Sooooooo….where's Megamind?" he asked again.
James sighed and said, "I'll take you to him, come on."
Minion was smiling, overjoyed that he'd be able to see his boss and best friend again. So with a skip in his step, and a bit of a slump in James's step, they left the room. Leaving Tirrell shaking her head and facing her computer again. "This is going to be one interesting place to live." She mumbled. And then began typing on her computer again.
…
"..so since I graduated from Harvard and got this job. I'd say I'm pretty good." Ben Walker said, smiling. He was sitting on his desk, facing Megamind.
But not knowing anything about any colleges, Megamind didn't say anything.
"Alright, I've told you some stuff about myself. Now it's your turn."
So far, from what the lawyer had told him, he had learned that Ben's dad was also lawyer, and his mom was a cop. His younger sister, 7 years younger than him, who was a ballet dancer, and his younger brother, also 7 years younger than him was a cop, who had only just finished his training. His younger sister and brother were twins. He also had an older sister, only a year older than him, who was a basketball coach. He also had a stay at home wife and 2 children. A boy and a girl.
But Megamind was hesitant about telling him anything about himself. He didn't like sharing his life story that much. He looked at his hands and started twiddling his fingers around.
Mr. Walker raised his eyebrows. "You know, it's only fair that you share at least a little something. I like to know my clients."
Megamind sighed, and looked up at the man. "What would you like to know?"
Smiling, he said, "Oh, I don't know. Like, whered you come from?"
"Not from this planet."
The lawyer laughed. "Obviously." That made Megamind laugh a bit.
"Anything else?" Mr. Walker asked, wanting to know more.
"Well, I mean, what do you already know about me?"
Ben looked at the ceiling and thought a bit. "Well..I know that you got here when you were a baby. Landed in prison, lived in prison your whole life until you were, oh what was it, 18?" he said looking at the alien he was talking about.
Megamind nodded.
"Right, and you had a rivalry with Metroman. When and how did that start anyway?" he asked.
"When we were babies, we were both traveling at the same time away from our planets, which were being sucked into black holes. When we got to earth I was heading toward a lugz-or-us mansion.."
"Luxurious?" the lawyer corrected.
Megamind just narrowed his eyes and stared at him. A bit put off by the interruption.
"Sorry..continue." the lawyer apologized quickly.
"Anyways, his pod knocked mine completely off course, which landed me in prison. And then when I was old enough, the prison guards sent me to shool where mr. goody-two-shoes was.."
At that comment, the lawyer laughed a bit.
"..where all the other little children thought he was just increed-eyeball." Megamind said with exaggeration. "I was the black sheep of the place, and of everywhere I went. Minion was my only friend. Until me and Roxanne started our relationship..last year."
By the time he had finished talking, he was staring down at the floor. Ben was looking at him, sympathy covering his face.
'Only one friend? For the first 25 years of his life? Poor guy. He wasen't even given a chance..'
Breaking the silence, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Ben said.
James opened the door. "Hey, it's time to go to the interrogation room now." He said.
Megamind looked up and James, and the officer, noticing the sad look on his alien friend's face, gave him a comforting smile.
"Alright, let's go then." He said getting off his desk, as Megamind stood up. "After you.." he said gesturing with his hand for Megamind to go first.
When Megamind walked out, the staring had begun again. But this time, to make it even more awkward, there was whispering as well. Whispers about him, the black sheep. He felt like he was back in his old shool house again. Back with all the rude kids that would pick on him and tease him. Back with the teacher that would get mad at him and smack his hands with the ruler everytime he did something wrong, or if she just felt like getting mad at him.
18 years ago
"Mrs. Daywalt! Megamind has the red crayon and he won't give it to me!" an obnoxious little boy with blonde hair said pulling on the teacher's skirt and pointing at him. The teacher, with her short brown hair looked over at where the 7 year old Megamind was sitting with his fish friend, minion, who was the same age. He was innocently coloring a blueprint of an invention he wanted to create, while minion watched with interest, throwing in compliments like 'you're a good drawer' and 'this idea is genius' in at times.
The teacher scowled at him, and started walking over. Her red heels making clacking noises on the floor, and her knee-length yellow dress swishing around. When she got to the table, with the little blonde boy at her side, she stood over Megamind and glared down at him through her black pointed glasses. Her red lipsticked mouth pulled down in a frown. Megamind looked up at her, confusion on his face. Minion looked up at her also, but with worry.
She jammed her hand in his face, her palm out. "Give it to me." She demanded.
"What?" Megamind asked.
"The crayon. Give it to me. Jeffrey asked if he could use it, you refused, so I'm taking it now."
Megamind was confused, he looked at Jeffrey, who had a smirk on his face. "He never asked if he could use it though." Megamind argued.
Mrs. Daywalt crossed her arms, and started tapping her foot.
"Mrs. Daywalt! I want it!" Jeffrey cried throwing his arms at his side.
Megamind gave him a dirty look, which Jeffrey returned.
"Fine then, I guess I'll take it by force." She said and she got her wooden ruler out of her dress pocket.
Quickly, and sharply, she smacked his hands with it, making Megamind make small noise of pain as he dropped the crayon. The crayon rolled all the way across the room.
"Now it's all the way over there! Go get it!" Jeffrey demanded pointing his finger at Megamind, who was rubbing his sore hand.
The teacher just smirked and said, "You heard him, go get it."
But then, a 7 year old Metroman flew over and handed Jeffrey the crayon.
"Thanks!" he said happily.
"Yes, thank you my perfect little student!" the teacher said smiling, getting some gold star stickers out of her pocket and putting on on Metroman's shirt. She then turned back to Megamind.
"And take this little trouble maker to the time out corner would you?" she said, staring at the little blue alien as if he were dirt at the bottom of her shoe.
"No problem Mrs. D." Metroman said, giving her a wink. He then grabbed Megamind by the collar of his orange prison suit. Megamind barely had time to grab minion before he was swooped over to the punishment corner, and placed there for the rest of the school day.
Present time
Megamind felt someone's hand on his shoulder. "Time to go bud." James said, as he started walking down the hallway. Megamind followed.
The three of them walked down the hallway, not speaking for a couple minutes until James, who was walking beside his blue friend turned his head toward him.
"You okay man?" he asked.
Megamind looked at him. "Yeah, ohm, is Roxanne and minion here yet?"
"Yeah, they got here about 30 minutes ago." At that answer, Megamind perked up.
"When can I.." he started to ask.
"Not until after your interrogation." He answered.
They had by then arrived at a whole new door, that seemed to be away from everything. Ben opened the door and they stepped inside. It was a small room with only a table, 2 chairs, and the top part of the walls were mirrors, all the way around the room. No windows. Just mirrors. And a single slightly dimmed light on the ceiling. Overall, the room was pretty dark.
"And this is where we leave you my friend." Ben said as he turned.
Not expecting this Megamind turned away from the room and looked at Ben and James. "Wait, what?" he asked.
"Just wait in here until the investigator comes in. He's going to ask you a few questions and then that will be the end of it for today. Possibly." Ben said turning to him.
Megamind just stared at them. James said, "Just answer truthfully and everything should be okay."
"But, you're my lawyer.." Megamind said, looking at Ben. "Aren't you supposed to..you know..stay in here with me and help me?"
"Not right now, now you have to answer these on your own." He said as he opened the door.
They were about to walk out when James turned back around. "Oh yeah, and you have to be handcuffed. Sorry man." He said coming over to him and taking handcuffs off his belt loops.
Sighing and rolling his eyes, Megamind said exasperately, "Of course." And he stuck out his hands, wrists together.
James laughed and clipped the handcuffs on. Megamind brought his hands down in front of him as James started backing away. "Have fun!" he said giving him thumbs up on both his hands.
"Yayyyy….." Megamind said waving his hands around in front of him.
Laughing again, James turned around, grabbed the doorknob and walked out. Closing the door behind him. Hearing the door knob lock, Megamind sighed and looked around.
'Well this is great. What am I supposed to do now?' he thought.
He turned around, walked around the table and sat down in the chair.
…
Roxanne, minion, Frank and the sherriff were all standing in a dark room. Watching Megamind through one-way mirrors sit in the room all by himself. Roxanne wished that Megamind knew she was there watching him. But he didn't, all he saw was his own reflection. They heard the door to the right of them open and they turned. It was James and Mr. Walker.
"Hey there." The lawyer said as he went and stood next to the sherriff as James went over beside Roxanne.
"Did he behave?" the sherriff said quizically.
"Oh yeah, we got to know each other pretty well." Ben turned. He then turned toward Roxanne and minion.
"Hello there, I'm Mr. Ben Walker. You must be Roxanne and you must be minion." He said pointing at them individually.
"Yes, hello." Roxanne said giving him a polite a smile.
"Hi!" minion said.
Ben would have said more but then they had heard a door opening. But it wasen't the door to their room. It was the door in Megamind's room. They saw him sit up straight, as the investigator walked in. He had a bushy mustache, dark brown but graying hair, and glasses. He was wearing a black sweater with a gray dress jacket over top, with light brown dress pants on. His name tag read, Mr. H. George, he a type of bored and tired act about him. He also was carrying a clip board with a pad of yellow notebook paper.
"Hello Mr. Megamind, my name is Mr. Henry George and I will be asking you some questions this afternoon." He said as he sat down. "and if you don't cooperate then I can easily call officers in here to have you removed and go straight back to prison without any good notes about you on my little notepad here." He said as he clicked his pen a couple times as if to prove his point.
"Ohm..ollo?" He said awkwardly. He started chewing on his thumb nail again.
'He's nervous.' Roxanne thought watching her boyfriend.
"You were accused of murdering a Mr. Bernard Reily, correct?" he said.
Megamind took his thumb nail out of his mouth and replied. "Correct. But I didn't."
Henry looked up at him. "Well that's what we're here to figure out, now isn't it." He then looked back down at his clipboard and started scribbling down notes, his pen making a small scratching noise on the paper.
Megamind leaned a little out of his seat and tried to look over the clip board to see what he was writing. Henry, noticing this, looked up at the blue alien in orange.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
Megamind sat back down quickly. "What are you writing?" he said cocking his head a bit.
"I can't share that information with you I'm afraid." He said, as he went to scribble a bit more.
Megamind frowned and slumped a bit.
"Now.." the investigator said when he was done writing. "What was your relationship with Bernard? Were you friends? Enemies?"
Megamind opened his mouth to say that they weren't really 'friends'. But then thought back to Bernard at the bank. How he had called Megamind his friend. So instead, Megamind replied, "Friends. We were friends." He said.
Henry nodded. "I see." As he began to scribble down some more notes.
"How did you two meet?"
"Well.." Megamind said, tapping his two forefingers together. "It's sort of a long story.."
"Well I have time." Henry said glancing up at Megamind and resting his chin on the back of his hands.
…
As Roxanne was listening to the story of when Megamind had disguised himself as Bernard. It began to bring back a lot of memories to her.
The others were listening as well though, they haden't quite heard the whole story.
"So, what I'm getting from this is that this dude pretty much tricked you into loving him." They heard Frank say, he was sitting in the back of the narrow room at a table, his feet crossed on the table.
Roxanne turned to him and said, "And you know what I'm getting at? You needed to shut up." She snapped at him.
'Here we go.." the sherriff thought as he rolled his eyes.
Minion looked at them, feeling an argument coming on, his face was a bit nervous.
"Well, I'm only saying.."
"Enough Frank." James said, giving him a stare that meant 'not now'.
Frank went silent again.
Ben turned his head toward the sherriff. "Is something going on between them?"
"Don't even bring it up." He replied.
Ben went silent and turned back to the room in front of them.
…
Once Megamind had finished his story, they sat in silence for a bit. Waiting for Henry to stop writing more notes.
"Another question.." he said as he looked up again. "If you two were friends, then why were you in the alleyway behind the bank with Bernard's blood on your hands? And we know it was his blood because we took a sample of it and the test proved that it was in fact, Bernard Reily's blood."
Megamind sat up straight.
'Good, now they can hear my side of the story..'
…
When Megamind dove into yet another story, the people on the other side of the room listened. Hearing the story of how Megamind had found Bernard the way he did almost broke Roxanne's heart. And she wasen't the only one in the room moved by the story. Minion was listening, his bottom lip quivering, the sherriff had a look of saddness on his face, Ben was listening while looking down at the floor, and Frank..well Frank actually looked like he was listening hard to the story.
…
Megamind's story had ended again. Once again, leaving the room in silence except for the scribbling noises the pen was making on the yellow note pad.
"So..you just ran. Left you're friend there, on the floor, bloody. Because he told you to run." Henry said quizically. Megamind could hear the doubt in his voice. "And run from, what exactly?"
Megamind shrugged. "I don't know. I never found out."
At this response, the investigator smiled and chuckled a bit. "You don't know..that's a pretty sorry answer."
Glaring at the man, Megamind said, "Ohm, excuse me?"
"Well, I mean come on. He told you to run and yet he didn't tell you what you were supposed to be running from?"
Megamind opened his mouth and said hesitantly. "W-well, he said to run before he finds out I was there. So, that's something."
"Yeah, but not much." The reporter said in a smart alic tone.
The way this man was acting was starting to make Megamind mad. "Okay, well excuse Bernard for not being able to talk well with a bullet in his chest!" he shouted angrily.
At this the man looked up, not too phased by this outburst. "There were actually 3 bullets, 2 in his chest and 1 in his leg."
Megamind glared. "Well excuse me, I wasen't a-wire of this."
Henry narrowed his eyes and Megamind and started scribbling annoyingly on his notepad again.
…
'Great, he's starting to get mad.' Roxanne thought with concern.
"He better cool down or there's going to be some bad notes on that note pad of his." James said from beside Roxanne. He didn't like where this was going either.
They heard the question room door open again. A lady stepped through holding a yellow notepad with a clipboard and 2 mugs of coffee. It was the red haired lady that had brought the sherriff and Megamind up to Mr. Walker's office.
"Hello, Mr. Megamind. I trust you remember me?" she said as she walked over to the desk.
'Great, she has a yellow notepad too.' Megamind thought with dread.
"It's my turn now Henry." She said putting her clipboard and 2 mugs of coffee on the table.
Grumbling, he stood up, leaving his notes on the table and walked out the door.
Ms. Parker smiled. "Hello again." She said brightly as she sat down.
"Ollo." He said, ready for her to shoot questions at him like the last investigator.
But instead, she just placed one of the mugs in front of him. He looked at it with question on his face.
"It's for you." She said noticing his confusion.
"Oh, thanks." He said and he took it with his cuffed hands and took a drink of it, then set it back down.
"No problem. So I have some questions to ask you.." She said as she clicked her pen so the point came out. But it wasen't in the way that Henry did it, it was just a way of her getting ready to right down any notes that needed to be taken.
"Whoop dee doo." Megamind said unenthusiastically.
She just looked at him.
Megamind tried again. "Ask away.." he said, in a defeated tone.
"Thank you, now, Mr. George left quite a few notes here." She said as she picked them up and began scanning them over. "And the subject that seems to have the most written for is the subject on why you were found with Bernard Reily's blood on your hands." She put the clip board back down on the table.
"Mind telling me why?"
Megamind sighed and looked down at the table, a sad look coming over his face. He really didn't want to repeat the story. It was starting to really hit him what he actually saw in the bank that night.
Sensing him not wanting to repeat the story over again, she said in a gentle voice. "I can't help you prove your innocence if you don't tell me you know."
He looked back up at her. Sighing again, he started back into the tragic story.
And as the story was going, more notes were scratching onto the notepad.
…
The interrogation door opened, out walking Ms. Parker and lastly, Megamind. They started walking silently to Ben's office. Ms. Parker knocked on the door. When they heard the cue to come in, she opened the door. When they walked in, they noticed that Roxanne, the sherriff, Frank, minion, James, and Ben were already there. Having left when the investigation was over and Ms. Parker was finishing up her notes.
"Megamind sir!" they heard an excited fish yell.
"Minion! You fantastic fish you!" Megamind cried.
Minion hurried over to him and grabbed him in a big hug. With his hands still being handcuffed together, he couldn't hug back. But he just loved seeing his fish friend again.
Then it was Roxanne's turn, she went over, took his hands and placed them over her head so he could hug her back. She then placed a peck on his lips.
Seeing this made Frank flex his knuckles, causing them to crack. He was sitting over by the window in a chair.
"You did great." She said smiling at him as he put his hands back down in front of him.
He then got a confused look on his face. "Wait, how do you know?"
"We were watching the whole time." James said smiling at the look that came over Megamind's face.
"Wha..? How..?"
"The mirrors." Ben said casually.
Megamind's mouth fell open. "You were spying on me the whole time?"
"Well, guys I have to go." Ms. Parker said. But before she left, she went over to Megamind, put her hand on his shoulder and said, "You did a good job." And with that, she left.
"It's about time we get back to the prison too." The sherriff said, causing minion, Roxanne, and Megamind to slump over a bit. But causing Frank to perk up a bit, standing up.
"Woah, way to completely ruin the mood sherriff." Megamind said.
The sherriff narrowed his eyes at him.
They then all heard a strange, growling noise.
Roxanne turned to the Megamind.
"Hungry are you?" se said smirking at him.
Megamind just shrugged. "I haven't eaten anything today." He said simply.
"But sir! It's 4:30!" minion cried.
The sherriff sighed. "Alright, we'll go to the cafeteria and get food. But then we shoud get back to the prison."
Frank slumped back over. Not looking forward to having to watch Megamind and Roxanne together still.
…
In the cafeteria, they were all sitting at the same table. Minio and James on the end, Roxanne and Megamind next to each other, and Frank and the sherriff next to each other.
James had uncuffed Megamind's hands after seeing Frank's expression when Roxanne started to feed her boyfriend with her own fork. The sherriff haden't had a problem with it, he deffinetly did not want another argument between Frank and Roxanne or Frank and Megamind. He wanted the two to enjoy their meal together.
Which they did. They talked and laughed the whole time. And during Megamind's time with Roxanne and minion, he forgot about the situation he was in. He forgot that he was going to have to return to his solitary confindement room later. He forgot he could possibly have to spend the rest of his life in jail. He didn't want to go back, but he was having fun while he could.
…
'Yeah, have fun while you can.'
Someone in a black cloak, with the hood up over his head, was watching Megamind from the top of a building through binoculars. He could see him talking and laughing.
"Pretty soon, you won't be having any fun." The stranger said. "Yes, pretty soon, you'll either be in jail, or dead." And with that last comment, he laughed a quiet, yet evil laugh.
And then silently, he gliding away from the side of the building, tucking his binoculars into his cloak.
hope you likedededed this chapter. xD
